That 1040 should be amended to report no capital gains entry at all.
Technically, the 1040 should show the capital gains as having been received as nominee for the estate. The 1040 shows the gain and then a reversing entry is made to show the gains actually belonged to the estate. You indicated the 1040 prepared by the accountant showed capital gains of zero, so make sure the accountant did not prepare the return as stated above before you consider amending (i.e., the accountant could have prepared the 1040 properly).
